Patent CA-2342760-A1 (CA)
Title: Vise-grip or expanding pliers
Inventor: NONIEWICZ ZBIGNIEW
IPC: B25B7/00
Filed: 2000-01-26
Abstract: The invention relates to vise-grip or expanding pliers comprising two plier arms (4, 5) which are joined in the manner of a scissor-leg joint and on the one end have handle sections (6, 8) and on the other end clamping sections (7, 9) which can be moved towards each other when the handles are actuated. The two plier arms (4, 5) can be fixed in different clamping positions which vary with the distance between the two clamping sections (7, 9). According to the invention a toothed segment (11) which is assigned to one plier arm (4) and whose teeth (12) are engaged by a detent (13) assigned to the handle section of the other plier arm (5) is provided for, so that a knuckle joint area is obtained which is largely free of distorting forces.
Patent CA-2345659-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZENTNER GAYLEN M
IPC: A61K38/095
Filed: 1999-09-30
Abstract: A water soluble, biodegradable ABA- or BAB-type tri-block polymer is disclosed that is made up of a major amount of a hydrophobic A polymer block made of a biodegradable polyester and a minor amount of a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol(PEG) B polymer block, having an overall average molecular weight of between about 2000 and 4990, and that possesses reverse thermal gelation properties. Effective concentrations of the tri-block polymer and a drug may be uniformly contained in an aqueous phase to form a drug delivery composition. At temperatures below the gelation temperature of the tri-block polymer the composition is a liquid and at temperatures at or above the gelation temperature the composition is a gel or semi-solid. The composition may be administered to a warm-blooded animal as a liquid by parenteral, ocular, topical, inhalation, transdermal, vaginal, transurethral, rectal, nasal, oral, pulmonary or aural delivery means and is a gel at body temperature. The composition may also be administered as a gel. The drug is released at a controlled rate from the gel which biodegrades into non-toxic products. The release rate of the drug may be adjusted by changing various parameters such as hydrophobic/hydrophilic component content, polymer concentration, molecular weight and polydispersity of the tri-block polymer. Because the tri-block polymer is amphiphilic, it functions to increase the solubility and/or stability of drugs in the composition.

Title: Pressure filtration device and method employing a depressurizing chamber and material transport
Inventor: ROGERS JOHN C
IPC: B01D33/073
Filed: 2000-05-23
Abstract: An assembly for separating solid phase material from a slurry that comprises a pressurized filtration unit including a vessel and filter media. A slurry (5) is fed to the filtration unit (10), where it is separated into a solid phase material and a liquid phase material. The filtration unit (10) has a solid outlet (12) for discharging the solid phase material to a material transport (15). The material transport (15) moves the solid phase material to a depressurizing chamber (20) that has a lower pressure than the filtration unit (10). As the solid phase material enters the depressurizing chamber (20), it is exposed to the lower pressure of that chamber. The material transport maintains (15) the pressure difference between the filtration unit (10) and the chamber (20). Subsequently, the depressurized solid phase material can be conveyed to other equipment for drying or other processing.

Title: Reversible electrochemical mirror (rem) state monitoring
Inventor: TENCH D MORGAN
IPC: G02F1/1506
Filed: 2001-09-12
Abstract: Reversible electrochemical mirror (REM) devices typically comprise a conductive oxide mirror electrode (106) that is substantially transparent to radiation of some wavelengths, a counter electrode (110) that may also be substantially transparent, and an electrolyte (112) that contains ions of an electrodepositable metal. A voltage applied between the two electrodes causes electrodeposition of a mirror deposit on the mirror electrode and dissolution of the mirror deposit on the counter electrode, and these processes are reversed when the polarity of the applied voltage is changed. Such REM devices provide precise control over the reflection and transmission of radiation and can be used for a variety of applications, including smart windows and automatically adjusting automotive mirrors.  According to the present invention, measurements of the sheet resistance of the mirror electrode in a REM device are correlated with the thickness of electrodeposited mirror metal and can be used to monitor the reflectance of the device. Sheet resistance measurements can be performed while the mirror state of the device is being switched if adequate isolation between the measurement and switching circuits is provided. This can be accomplished by use of external resistors or more sophisticated circuitry, or by taking advantage of the relatively high sheet resistance of the mirror electrode itself. Monitoring the reflectance of REM devices according to this invention provides significant cost and performance advantages.

Title: Systeme et procede de commande de tension
Inventor: WALKER N EDWARD
IPC: G05F1/40
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de réduction de la tension AC permettant une réduction très efficace de la tension utile avec une interférence électromagnétique minimale. Ces systèmes et procédés peuvent également être utilisés pour améliorer le facteur de puissance global du dispositif. La tension AC fournie à une charge (14) telle qu'un groupe de ballasts d'éclairage connectés à un circuit individuel, est réduite par un commutateur commandable (18) couplé en parallèle avec un condensateur (16) entre la source AC (12) et la charge (14). Le commutateur (18) est commandé de manière à s'enclencher lorsque la tension dans le condensateur (16) est très proche de zéro, et à s'arrêter avant le prochain passage à zéro du courant de ligne. La durée d'arrêt est choisie dans une configuration de boucle ouverte indépendamment d'une caractéristique mesurée d'une tension ou d'une puissance de charge. Pour garantir un fonctionnement correct de l'éclairage à décharge gazeuse, le commutateur (18) est initialement mis en position d'arrêt, peu avant le passage à zéro du courant de la source AC. Pour réduire la tension et permettre les économies d'énergie en conséquence, la durée d'arrêt est graduellement rapprochée du passage à zéro.
